I did. But I am officially saying I am sick now. Every joint hurts, I have a swollen gland or something where my left ear meets the neck and jaw, I hurt all over, even my hair hurts. Surgeon's office says that's not normal, to go to urgent care, so I am tomorrow.

I took a home covid test, it's negative. I haven't a clue what's going on. Took me a week to figure out that none of this is remotely related to any post surgery pain I'd have.

I'm worried. You all know I don't run fevers, and even when I had that staph infection in my spine, my blood work was normal, and I had a constant temp of 97.6.my normal temp. I'm not running a fever at all with this, either, and I should be. Whatever it is, feels like something people run fevers with.

I wonder if I got strep throat? NO white pockets, but the last few times I had it, I didn't get white pockets. Hopefully they will find out. If not for this, I'd be dancing jigs badly, because there is little to no pain from the surgery.
